Santa Cruz Stone King Rally

The Santa Cruz Stone King Rally is an annual six-day mountain bike race which takes place in early summer. It follows an original itinerary from across the Southwestern Alps to the Mediterranean Coast. 

Racing aside, Stone King is also a journey which lends itself to being enjoyed outside of a competitive setting. As a result, we have built Stone King Touring Club: a structure of information to help all avid, experienced mountain bikers enjoy their own adventure along the route.

For more information check out the video and take a look at stonekingrally.org.

The Downieville Classic

The Sierra Buttes Trail Stewardship has been the non-profit mastermind behind this event since its inception.

They’ve been fighting the good fight for trail access as well as building miles upon miles of multi-use trails in the region. All the money raised from the event goes right back into maintaining this beautiful corner of the world.

Trans-Cascadia

Since the day the first shovel hit dirt on a Trans-Cascadia course, the organizers have focused on building and improving trails that have been lost over time as well as opening new ones. They restore and maintain backcountry trails in the most remote areas of the Cascade Mountain Range within Oregon and Washington. They work with National Forest land managers, trail advocacy groups and other user groups to help bring communities together in an effort to keep trails open, improve them and keep them accessible for generations to come. Each year they actively maintain over 100 miles of trails and put in a collective 16,000 hours of volunteer labor in the six years the event has been running.
